A VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) includes: a resonant tank having a parallel connection of an inductor, a fixed capacitor, a variable capacitor, a first temperature compensating capacitor, and a second temperature compensating capacitor across a first node and a second node, and configured to establish an oscillation of a first oscillatory voltage at the first node and a second oscillatory voltage at the second node; and a regenerative network placed across the first node and the second node to provide energy to sustain the oscillation. The variable capacitor is controlled by a control voltage, the first temperature compensating capacitor is controlled by a first temperature tracking voltage of a positive temperature coefficient, and the second temperature compensating capacitor is controlled by a second temperature tracking voltage of a negative temperature coefficient.
